    Alice

    Asked on March 5th, 2026

    Is this trip completely safe? especially when crossing the boarders? It will be my first trip travelling as a solo female and some nerves are starting to set in.

      Alice

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      After this trip is done, I am looking at going to Costa Rica. It says online that the tour guide can help us with continuing our travels after so I was wondering if I could get support on this?

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten March 2026

      Please rest assured safety is always our top priority and we would never operate in any destination if we believed our group's safety could be at risk. While the media can sometimes make Central America seem unsafe, the reality is that tens of thousands of tourists visit the region every year without any issues. As a precaution, we avoid certain areas and our dedicated operations team continually monitors and reviews all our trips, taking into account advice from local authorities, governments, and foreign offices. The majority of our group members are solo travellers, so you'll all be in a similar situation. We room all solo travellers of a similar age together where possible, and always of the same gender.

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten March 2026

      If you're wanting to continue to Costa Rica afterwards then you'll want to check out our Central America Adventure 30 day trip which also includes the unbelievably beautiful Costa Rica!

    Asked on November 10th, 2025

    What are your age suggestions for this trip. i am over your suggested bracket but quite OK to travel and an experienced traveler

    Age Range
    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      Our tours are for over 18's only. The majority of people on our tours are aged 18 to 40, but we regularly have people in their 40's travel with us and have an incredible time! As long as you have an appetite for adventure and are happy bonding with people of all backgrounds, you'll fit in perfectly!

      TravelerWritten November 2025

      As it happens I'm seventy'something' but constantly mistaken for a forty year old

    • INTRO TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      As mentioned the majority of our group members are in their 20s and 30s, so unfortunately our tours may not be the best fit for you. We do hope you find a trip that suits you perfectly and that you have an amazing time in Central America.
